Thanks - the battery is new, just replaced last week. I think it's the key fob. If I strategically press in the middle of the credit card fob, the red light flashes and then I can turn the ignition without inserting the physical key. So...loose connection somewhere, perhaps.
We have a 2007 CX-9 GT with Advanced Keyless Entry. Seems to be some odd issues regarding the keyless system.
1. We can only unlock the car either with the physical RFID key or via the remote credit card fob. We can't lock/unlock by pressing the little black button on the door handle. Driver...
Could this cause a problem like that? A couple of the teeth look damaged. If that's the case, is it OK to drive? Will it send odd signals to the car to drive differently eventually killing my transfer case and or transmission?

Thanks! Something else I noticed is that accelerating from 1st to road speed, like 30 mph, the engine revs really high before switching to 4th gear. 4000 or more. Could that be caused by wheel speed sensor malfunction?
We replaced the rear wheel bearings in my 2007 Mazda CX9 AWD. To make a 5 hour long story short, the wheel bearings didn't come out smoothly, and the new ones didn't fit on smoothly either. We had to use a lot of force to get those things on and off, and hammer had to be deployed occasionally...
I know this is an FAQ and I found the posting regarding the jack points for a 2016 CX-9 but I think my 2007 looks slightly different.
In the 2016 CX-9 the point is just behind the rear differential, but I can't make out a similiar point in my 2007. In the pic below, the top is the 2016 and the...
Haha, thanks yea, I wrote that NOT with a straight face :-)
So I jacked up each wheel and tried to spin, but none of them spun freely - I guess because it is AWD? Not sure what to expect with that, maybe I'm doing something dumb.
Instead I pushed and pulled to check for some play, all were...
We have a 2007 CX-9 Grand Touring AWD with 140K miles. A couple of years ago, we noticed a rubbing noise coming from the rear of the CX-9. We think this started after our transfer case was replaced, but not too sure, but at any rate we didn't do anything at the time.
It seems to have gotten...
Heh thanks... I guess the decision has been made for us. The car started making loud thunking noises from front end and really intense burning oil smell. TC replacement here we come!
2007 CX-9 w/ 110K miles. We are the second owner, have no idea what the previous owner did, other than "regular maintenance". We are experiencing the symptoms associated with the transfer case issue - burning oil smell/sulfur smell, whining sound at low speed, excessive vibration (at all speeds...
The push to talk button on the steering wheel on my 2007 CX-9 is unresponsive. When I press it there is no "beep", so I can't enter voice commands or pair my phone.
When I ran the diagnostic check, the field where it asks you to press the PTT button does not change at all when I press the...
